Frank‘s bistro & Chinese cuisine 上水小馆

This has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. It really is good for this area. Highly recommend it if you are looking for Chinese food in Lake Forest and Irvine area. If you like spicy food they do have some spicy food here. They claim to have Wagyu beef but I am not sure that this beef is really Wagyu beef as the beef was chewy. Each dish is between $20-30 average so depends on how many dishes you order.

come here with my best friends to celebrate mid-autumn day, good food quality and taste delicious. We ordered kinds of big dishes so a little bit expensive, but worth to try. You can find authentic Guangdong and Hunan dishes here. The restaurant has three private rooms with round tables,which require advance reservation. If dining in the main hall,going early means you avoid the queues. The main hall features comfortable booth seating. The menu offers a range from mid-range to high-end dishes,making it suitable for both casual gatherings with friends and business banquets. 💚eggplant with Chili and Preserved Egg ($15) Generous amount of preserved egg.The mashed chili isn't spicy but offers a fresh aroma. A key feature is the heavy use of garlic,which really enhances the flavor – a delight

A perfect restaurant! We came for lunch on Chinese New Year’s Eve, and it was completely packed with no empty tables. Even though it was extremely busy, the food was served very quickly and the service was well-organized. The staff were friendly and attentive, and every single dish was delicious — not a single disappointment. Highly recommend! Highly recommend! Highly recommend！

Food is great, combination of Cantonese and Hunan cuisine. I really like the fish with basil. The place is new, so service crew are still figuring things out. There are always bunch of customers smoking right outside the restaurant, wasn’t a big fan

The fried pork with green peppers tasted very authentic! The pork stomach blended with fish soup were all right not very impressive. The vibe of the restaurant is great but service seems hard to keep up, likely because it’s a new opening location.
